### Macroeconomic performance and stability
- Despite modest economic growth, Cameroon has maintained macroeconomic stability in the face of domestic and external shocks.

### Fiscal consolidation and debt sustainability
- Authorities have advanced fiscal consolidation by:
  - boosting non-oil revenues;
  - improving public investment management;
  - controlling domestic arrears.
- Medium-term growth depends on decisive actions to increase non-oil revenues and preserve debt sustainability.

  - clearing arrears;
  - deepening the domestic financial market;
  - implementing strategies for financial sector development and inclusion in collaboration with regional financial institutions.

### Public financial management, governance, and AML/CFT
- Addressing public financial management weaknesses, governance issues, and anti-corruption measures is necessary to support medium-term growth.
